I love the texture and finish of this product but the perfume scent is semi-overwhelming.

DEFINITE NO... for this product. There are better, cheaper and more natural products in the market to fight acne. This product just makes everything worse.

It's strange how this is called an oil-absorbing treatment because it made my skin feel pretty greasy after applying it. But I mainly bought this product as an acne medication so I only apply it...
